Re: pregnancy weight

I lost it all in two months, without making any effort. Gained about ten pounds back while nursing. When I stopped nursing, five of those pounds dropped off very quickly. I lost the rest with a little portion control, but mostly Ramadan and chasing a toddler :D. despite the fact that Im under prepregnancy weight, the shape is not exactly the same.

Even i lost weight within 2 months..but i got pregnant again quickly. i was under weight during second pregnancy, so i was not having trouble in losing weight.

Re: pregnancy weight

I gained 27 pounds and by the time I left hospital, 5 days later, I had lost 15 pounds already!at 5 weeks still have about 8 more to go but I m not concerned about the weight, it's actually the shape of tummy. After two abdominal surgeries in 4weeks, I have a long way to go back to the shape!

Re: pregnancy weight

i gained 25 lbs in my whole pregnancy and it was entirely, and i mean, entirely, in my belly. kid was masha'Allah close to 10lbs too so that explains it. as well, i lost about 6 lbs in the beginning because of morning sickness.

Re: pregnancy weight

So how come you gain weight during breast-feeding? I always thought n read that breast feeding helps you lose weight..not true?

Re: pregnancy weight

Re: pregnancy weight


i was VERY hungry when nursing. Some of the weight is in your boobs but that's only a little. Mostly it's just the increased appetite and fluid intake. My nursing cravings were much stronger than pregnancy cravings.

Re: pregnancy weight

^ yes, i m always hungry now a days. It shocks me when i can finish a whole meal :O my appetite has doubled frm what it use to be.

oh n i went frm being a B cup to a D...so i knw thats couple of lbs right there :(

N Sahar i m the same way...i had NO cravings during pregnancy, but now want/need something sweet all the time...the cravings are soo bad.

Re: pregnancy weight

^ I wanted cakes the whole time. lol. apparently it might be an indication that your body wants grains/carbs. I'd make myself a warm bowl of oatmeal lightly sweetened with cinnamon and brown sugar as my afternoon (and sometimes evening) snack. It helped with those cravings. Actually started really craving oatmeal. It was like the best food in the world. lol

Re: pregnancy weight

I gained 50 lbs and lost it all and then some 20 lbs while breastfeeding during the 1.5 after birth. My weight loss was very gradual mainly because i didnt work out or watch my diet. Once i stopped nursing i gained the extra 20 lbs back because i wasnt burning the calories i did while nursing while my diet was the same.
